If you have a deep understanding of a technique, you can apply it in many different situations. Great video.

@papertiger7 thanks brother!

Not to cast too much doubt but and I may be missing something here (as I don't do kung fu of any kind) but considering just how much pressure is constantly exerted on a greco wrestlers neck (collar and elbow position being the most evident, but also bridging) I do wonder if merely the surprise of the pull to the back of the head would work in lowering them so drastically. Do you frequently cross train as I find it is a great way of improving technique to apply it to someone who doesn't know it.

[BambooMountain]

yes the surprise pull would work in lowering the head, but the application is actually on the entire spine. there is a rotational aspect in here too. that being said if your opponent knows what is going to happen he will probably be able to stop it.

yes i do cross train, but not in the modern concept i have been through external schools and internal schools, as opposed to a striking or grappling schools.

as a fellow xing yi lover, i can say, i like how this was adapted, in some of my instructional xing yi videos, i show a few ways to turn pi chuan into a takedown. i really like this man, keep it up

[BambooMountain]

thanks! on one of my other vids i do a couple take downs with pi chuan.

keep on spreading the art. it is a truly beautiful system.

Nice. Spiral movement, it takes advantage of his motion when he tries to pummel under. This is a good application of the jin, but in a clinch context.

Props, brother. Keep training and making up new shit.

[ironrogue]

i like it. May I ask who your teacher is?

[DaiBoxer]

Nice work. A finer point of Beng Jin.

I actually liked your application here. It's always neat to see how the smaller moves in something like Xing Yi are what make and break an application.

I find that's how much of Gung Fu is, it's the smaller and more unexpexted movements that make the puzzle more complete.
